Geoengineering: Can We Save the Planet By Messing With Nature?
|
20.5.2013 |
Democracy Now! |
| As the carbon dioxide in the air hits 400 parts per million for the first time in human history, some are arguing that the best way address climate change is to use the controversial practice of geoengineering -- the deliberate altering of the Earth’s ecological and climate systems to counter the effects of global warming. Supporters of geoengineering endorse radical ways to manipulate the planet, including creating artificial volcanoes to pollute the atmosphere with sulfur particles. Many scientists and environmentalists have raised concerns about geoengineering technologies designed to intervene in the functioning of the Earth system as a whole. We're joined now by Clive Hamilton, professor of public ethics at Charles Stuart University in Canberra, Australia. Hamilton's new book, "Earthmasters: The Dawn of the Age of Climate Engineering," lays out the arguments for and against climate engineering, and reveals the vested interests behind it linking researchers, venture capitalists and corporations. |

Assimilating Canadians into the wisdom of Indigenous ancestors

23.4.2013 |
rabble.ca - News for the rest of us |
| Tuesday, April 23, 2013
If we're going to stand with our Indigenous neighbors, we'll have to start asking questions about whose land we’re standing on.
This year, the Idle No More movement called for Earth Day rallies to focus attention on the links between Indigenous issues and the environmental movement.
Events leading up to Earth Day included an impressive 'Nation2Nation' (N2N) dialogue between Haudenosaunee and Anishnawbeg leaders like Ellen Gabriel and Leanne Simpson and Canadian activist Naomi Klein in Toronto. (Watch videos of this event here and here .)
